We've created this blog to let you know about fun stuff that goes on "backstage at the Narrows"; although, if you actually went in back of the stage, you'd fall out the windows!
Of course, we mean stuff like:
--Eric Anderson smokes cigars. Not at the Narrows, of course, where smoking is forbidden. But after he leaves. Maybe his "thirsty boots" wouldn't be so thirsty if they weren't coughing on cigar smoke!
--Dan Hicks, whose dry, deadpan delivery is the heart of his show, seems to be that way all the time. He never broke "character" backstage.
--Odetta and the Holmes Brothers are coming for a special performance on Saturday, March 26th (at Bristol Community College on the other side of town). The first time the Holmes Brothers ever played the Narrows (at least we think it was the first time), the guys--who have backed such greats as Peter Gabriel--almost got stranded with a brokendown van.
--If you've ever bought some of the visual art at the Narrows, you're in good company. The great Richie Havens, the last time he performed here, bought some sculpture.
--People think folk music is for liberals. Not true. Conservative talk radio host Laura Ingraham is a big Slaid Cleaves fan!
